CLONING CAUSES
CONTROVERSY ON CANINE CAMPUSES by Beatrice Beagle
While only sheep were involved, the Canine Community seemed unconcerned,
perhaps even somewhat favorably impressed, as sheep are considered lesser
mammals only fit for herding around or harrassing, but now that the possibility
of pets being cloned (see
http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/000216/ca_wired_1.html
) many on campus are considering the morals involved, the possibilities
of dreadful unanticipated
RAMifications (dogs can
pun, too), and the threat to our way of life. Swinging Sammy
Samoyed, a well known
intercollegiate frisbee champion, was heard to say "This could be
the worst thing since artificial insemination". Campus debates may
develop shortly, we may yet get an opinion from the eminent Professor Houndog
of Cowford.
The commercial possibilities
of this procedure are already being exploited. See
Missiplicity project
(team that is developing genetic savings and clone).

WESTMINSTER WINNER
GRANTS INTERVIEW. By Chasit Upatree
"What beauty" "Such
poise" "Melody in motion" were heard among the spectators at the
nation's oldest and most famous dog show. And indeed she is a beauty
to watch.
Gracious too, to cast
a few remarks to this grungy reporter as he peered out from behind
the assembled humanoid legs. "What a bore all this is" she muttered.
"But one must live, you know. And soon I'll be back in sunny California
and doing what dogs do--have pups."
